Map of the locations of Jews arrested in Belgrade
Detailed interactive and geo-referenced map of Belgrade is presented in a GIS application with a contemporary map, satellite images, historical map and aerial photos from the WW II period. On the active place-marks of the victims' and witness' locations, are archival data with descriptions and signatures from the archived records of the Special Police for Jews, the "State Commission for Establishing the Crimes of the Occupiers and Their Abettors." and the Jewish Museum in Belgrade. The data structure follows the data available in the records. The work on these maps is ongoing and does not represent the final number of victims or to fully represent the state of historical records.
